and they, just like any other government in the world are entitled to defend their homeland and it's people by whatever means at their disposal.
In this case Israel is just defending itself from these attacks
en.wikipedia.org...
So according to you it is OK for Israel to defend itself against these attacks - or do you think Jews should not be allowed to defend themselves?

Wrong actually, why ignore these?
In January, Palestinian Militants launched 22 rockets and four mortar shell at Israel in 19 separate attacks
In February, Palestinian Militants launched nine rockets at Israel in seven separate attacks
In March, Palestinians launched 65 rockets and mortar shell, in 23 attacks
In April, There were 19 rockets and 5 mortar shell in 14 attacks towards Israel
In May 4 rockets and 3 mortar shells were launched from Gaza in 5 attacks towards Israel
In June about 53 rockets and a mortar shell were launched from Gaza in about 17 attacks towards Israel
In July several hundred were fired
So Israel is not allowed to defend itself against these attacks?

If I lived in an area that has become a war zone, then I'd move. And rather quickly.
I don't think I'd gamble the lives of my family on whether or not my apartment was going to get bombed.
The only reason to stay in a war zone is to fight, er. . . umm. . . . a war.
And what if you had nowhere to "move" to?
Then I'd get creative real quick and find a place.
What do you suggest these Palestinians do? Whip out the old AMEX Platinum, buy a house in Mallorca, call the moving company and pile the family in the Mercedes?
I don't understand the astounding lack of context going on here.
If you want to improve your chances of living, get out of the zone where war is being actively fought. If you stay in an area where war is actively being conducted, your chances of dying increase.

Why do Israel get away with this...
They break the geneva convention like its a hobby of theirs
What are they supposed to do? They are fighting opponents that think nothing of using schools, ambulances, mosques, private dwellings loaded with women and children as bases to both store their munitions and operate from.
since about 1950s the IDF has enjoyed at minimum a 7-1 kill ratio

Then it was a poor decision to conduct a war in the first place then, wasn't it.
